FROM The HdrtWeU tJd.) sun.
Mai. J. H. SHELTON related in our hearing
the following diverting incidents of the
sangunary battle of Sharpsburg or Ante
| tam:
Gen. Barksdale drew his brigade no in
| line, and addressed them in substance as
| follows:
''Men, upon this battle hangs in all proba-
bility the destiny of the Confederacy, the
destiny of our beloved homes, the destiny of
onr property, the destiny of our fathers, of
our mothers of our wives, of our sweet
hearts: then let every man of us be q hero
in the strife and acquit ourselves like men.
If there be a man among you that possesses
none of these precious things that | have
Just enumerated, and feels that he has moth
ing TO battle for, if he will step to the front
| will give him permission to retire to igno-
mlnlous safety"
At this juncture two lean, lank, dirt
eating looking shadows of men stepped to
the front, and one of them in nasal tones
drawled out:
"Gen'rul, men him, y pointing to his COM
rade, 'hain't got no home, no pappv, no
nanny no wife, no sweetheart an nary
nigger-kin we go!'
The General looked at them with wither
ing scorn for a few seconds, and then point
ing to the woods in the rear, thundered-
Ctr And they got.
While the battle was at its height, and
the cannons thunder fairly made the ground
quake, and the shells and grapeshot
shrieked through the murky air like verita-
BILE demons, Gen. "Ranse'' Wright saw
fellow running out of the fight like scared
rabbit The General drew his pistol, and,
putting spurs to his horse, intercepted the
recreant soldier and shouted to him:
GO back to your place, sir; go back, or
I'll shoot you "
The frightened skulker yelled back;
''Shoot and be d to you; them fellers
hev got a d sight bigger guns than
you hev !" and, darting under the Generals
horses belly, incontinently took to his heels.
The above yarns of Maj Shelton recalls
to our mind the witty pun of an old Johnny
Reb" on the march to Hagerstown, Md,
just before the battle of Sharpsburg Many
of the soldiers were barefoot, and the soles
of their feet were worn and bleeding Our
company which had been detailed as rear
guard had halted in the road for a mo-
ment's rest. One old fellow, Joe McCracken,
sitting on the roadside, held his feet up for
the Captains inspection and pointing to
huge stonebruises on either foot, said in
lugubrious tones:
"Cap'n, these are the days that try mems
solesm
The company groaned, while some Of
them cried, xiii him on the spot"
McCracken had his arm disabled by a
sharpshooter's bullet in the trenches around
Petersburg, but refusing a discharge, was
among the few ragged rebs that grounded
their arms when the sun of the Confederacy
went down behind the hills of Appomattox.

A pRUMMER,s ADVENTURES.
How a Joke Turned Out to be in
Favor of the Victim.
From the Americus (Ga,) Recorder.


From the An,ericus (Ga) Recorder.
Last week when the Americas, Preston
and Lumpkin passenger train made its first
through trip to Abbeville prominent
Americas drummer, who will be nameless
on account of his excessive modesty and
good looks, boarded the train, with the de-
termination to take lot of orders or die.
No matter whom he met, or where he was,
he had made up his mind that he would
paralyze the house with his big business.
He SO expressed himself while the train was
going from Americas to the river
big section boss, who lives beyond
Coney, and Just this side of Seville, conf
| dentially told the drummer there was big
gang between the two stations who were out
of rations and other stuff, and he THE boss
had no doubt but that he could place many
orders, as the men were all reliable. Inc
drummer was happy, and after Coney had
been passed, wherever a log cabin could be
seen he was in for having the train stopped
and letting him off. He was so frantic
about it that at last as the train had slack
ened speed to go through a bad new cut, the
| section boss told him to get ready, as beyond
the cut lay the inviting field. The drum
mer shouldered his grip, and as the cut was
passed, the boss pointed to great, heavy
man lying down by log fire, telling him
there was the boss of the crowd, and to
tackle him first
OFF the drummer jumped and the train
sped on. Making as much noise as possible
to awaken the seeming sleeper as he APP
preached him, the man from town was sur
prised to find he made no movement. Look
ing around he was astonished to find that
there wasn't a single tent or cabin to be
seen, and when he had summoned up
enough courage he found his expectant Gus
toner was-a dummy.
The drummer had been left alone in the
woodsl
A little dismayed, but not disheartened,
the drummer prepared some fire-brands and
started to find human habitation. Through
the woods, through the fields, over streams
and valleys he wandered until at last he
came to fenced in field Following the
fence, after several hours hard walking he
came to a house, and after making uproar
enough to raise Satan-as he thought-he
got the farmer out, who, happily, proved to
be an old friend. 1t was then O'clock in
the morning.
And here comes the drummer's revenge,
His friend was all prepared for an early
wedding party. and the breakfast and
everything was on the table. The drummer
| lost no time in inviting himself to the feast,
and had a meal fit to make the kings
envious. By the time he was through
crowd was on hand and he billed several
| good orders He was then driven to the
| railroad and took the first train for Able
vile, happy and contented, even if he had
walked all night.

Save the Handouts.
From, the An,ericus (Ga.) Record,

From the Anlericits (Gd.) Recorder.
One day last week Sheriff Market wanted
a negro in Andersonville arrested. Not
having a deputy at hand, they all being
busy in the court, he swore in Mr.. Peek of
that neighborhood who is well known in
this vicinity for his eccentricities. Peek was
very much elated at being made bailiff
temporarily and determined to make his
arrest in great style.
Up to Andersonville he went found his
man, and i'll very authoritative manner
told him he was under arrest, at the same
time clapping on the handouts. The negro
didn't like the manner i'll which the arrest
was made, and without any more ceremony
than was necessary he got onto his legs and
ran away, handouts and all. Peek, being
a cripple, could do nothing but stand and
yell at the fleeing darlley Almost para
lived, he made his way to the telegraph
office, and telegraphed to the Sheriff what
to do.
The Sheriff sent the very characteristic
message: ..-~
''Save the handouts, any how"
Peek hunted the neighborhood over, but
no darkey.
Saturday morning the court house off
cials were sent into rears of laughter by the
appearance of the lately arrested darkey,
who still had ON his handouts, who quietly
gave himself up, saying he didn't want
to be arrested in heightened way, any
how.
Peek hasn't been in town since.

THE USE OF THERMAL WATERS.
Many Valuable Springs in America
Which Will Become Health Resorts.

AOSOAAAO
From Horper's Magazine
Geologically considered, a thermal spring
is one whose temperature exceeds that of
the mean annual temperature of the place
where it flows; that is to say, the spring
must be warmed by volcanic or other inter
nal heat But by this definition any spring,
say in Northern Labrador, that should force
its way through a frost-bound soil at a
temperature barely higher than the freezing
point, would have to be called thermal; and
so in physicians usage the term is limited
to include only those waters which are warm
enough to supply warm and hot baths at
their own natural temperatures, or at less
than these; for they range from go upward,
past the bathing point and well toward the
boiling. Thermal spring baths are taken
at the temperature which | have deserved
as tepid and warm, and in the lower range
of the hot. The tepid thermal baths are es-
especially calming to the nerves. At some
Of these baths the waters are drunk, though
they have little other than gentle laxative
effect. Tue waters are generally trans
parent and colorless; often they contain car
bonic acid gas, and sometimes chloride of
lime or common salt. AT Neris and at
Schlangenbad the water has a somewhat
unctuous feel, or texture, - in the technical
description of it, which is very agreeable.

well appointed thermal bath; its tempera-
ture and the carbonic acid gas which it gen
orally contains are at once its main cura-
tive and comforting agencies.
Mineral waters occur at many places in
Europe and America; often in wild upland
or mountain regions of exquisite beauty,
where mountain rides and rambles form a
part of the hygiene permitted or prescribed.
Our own country has an ample number of
such springs, but the greater part of them
are not as yet sufficiently improved to be
comfortable and attractive, and attractions
and comfort are of no small Importance to
the visitor at a thermal spring, especially
when it is a troubled mind that seeks
restoration. | must not say that none of
our thermal waters are improved. Among
those that offer comfort to the invalid are
those at Santa Barbara, in Southern Cali
fornia, which has at least good hotel accom-
mediation: the Idaho 'hot springs" where
there are both hotels and bathing establish
ments; and the warm springs" and the
"hot springs of Bath county, Virginia,
which are improved and in beautiful re-
gions. All of these are true thermal springs,
owing comparatively little to their mineral
constituents, and are both attractive and
effective cures nor are these all that might
be mentioned In due time this viii be a
land of bath cures, and invalids will come
to us from Europe, as we now go thither,
for change and for comfort.
